I have an HP Pavilion laptop and when I closed my monitor (while it the computer was still on), I reopened it and it went black and then reappeared to windows but the icons looked bigger and fuzzy, almost blurry...I am typing in this mode now, what could be the problem?

This sounds like a changed resolution problem. You can find the properties of the monitor by finding a open space on the desktop screen and left clicking on it . Click on the setting tab and adjust to your viewing preference. or you can go to start and then open the control panel in windows. Go to display and open it. Click on the settings tab and check the resolution settings. If you have the owners manual handy check for the manufacturers setting. Then try resetting the resolution of the screen to your viewing preference. I hope this information helps you with your problem.

Try it on another PC nad also try new or check the VGA cable first, if it still doea not work and you want to DIY repair, then please read below and look at pictures albums.Most common failures in the LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply, failed inverter circuits (blown fuse, shorted transistors, shorted/open transformers), bad lamps (poor solder connections or worn out lamps). You will need to open it up and inspect the inside, see example of failed HP and other monitors to get some ideas what to look for: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbumsPost back what you see inside so we can guide you further and it will help out other people in the future also.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plaguehttp://www.badcaps.net

if it works - go into monitors and remove the drivers. Re-install the monitor you are asking about.If it doesn't work -- it has a problem - if it is LCD - you can get a new one or a good used one a lot cheaper then trying to fix the old one.

Control Panel->System->Hardware->Device Manager->Monitor. select and uninstall. Then let Windows detect the monitor and re-install the drivers for your monitor.
Do the same for the disply adapter in the Ctrl Panel.

With the computer on and the monitor connected, shine a flashlight at a slight angle on the screen and see if you can make out a picture. If you can, then it is most likely the ccfl inverter, if not possibly the power supply of the monitor.
